Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the benefit of lumbar spinal block in the treatment of Post Laminectomy Syndrome compared to the application of physical agents. Material and methods: A randomized study was conducted in 40 patients, of whom 20 received spinal block plus physical therapy and 20 only physical therapy. We have evaluated the intensity of pain before and after the application of each therapy using the visual analog scale (VAS). Results: The lumbar spinal block was successful in 18 patients, the other 2 showed no greater change with treatment. Conclusions: The lumbar spinal block can reduce pain and improve the functional state of patients with post-laminectomy syndrome, allowing a better quality of life.
